Oodles means a large amount — lots and lots. It is playful and informal, and it almost always comes with of: oodles of money, oodles of time, oodles of noodles.

Oodles means意思是 a large amount大量──lots and lots很多很多。It它 is playful and informal俏皮又非正式，and幾乎總是 almost always comes with of跟of連用: oodles of moneyoodles of money（一大筆錢）, oodles of timeoodles of time（大把時間）, oodles of noodlesoodles of noodles（一大堆麵）。

You cannot really say an oodle; the word lives in the plural, like a pile with no edges.

You cannot really say an oodle你不能真的說an oodle（單數）；the word lives in the plural這個字只有複數用法, like a pile with no edges就像一堆沒有邊界的東西。

It feels American and a bit cute, the kind of word a cookbook or a grandparent might still enjoy. People do not use it in serious reports, and it does not mean a real number you can count.

It feels American它給人的感覺很美式 and a bit cute又有點可愛, the kind of word就是那種字 a cookbook or a grandparent might still enjoy食譜或阿公阿嬤可能還會用的。People do not use it in serious reports人們不會在正式報告裡用它, and它 does not mean a real number you can count也不代表一個算得出來的實際數字。

Nobody is quite sure where it came from; it may sit near older slang for a whole lot, or it may just have grown as a fun sound for “a huge pile.” Treat it as a friendly way to say a lot.

Nobody is quite sure where it came from沒有人很確定它的來源；it may sit near older slang for a whole lot它可能跟以前指「一大堆」的俚語有關, or it may just have grown as a fun sound for “a huge pile”或者它可能只是為了「一大堆」這個意思長出來的一個好玩發音。Treat it as a friendly way to say a lot把它當成一種親切的說法，用來說「很多」就好。
